Options for hangar and large-span doors in Long Eaton

Load path. Bottom-rolling on floor rails or top-hung from the structure, agreed with your engineer.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Wind resistance. Closed doors are designed to resist the wind pressure your site can see without jamming.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.

Jobs we can carry out

Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
Designing multi-leaf sliding doors, with a tail-fin cut-out where needed, for a hangar or large-span maintenance building.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Long Eaton?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Long Eaton can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
